Family Recipe: South African Melk Tart (Custard Pie)

South African Melk Tart (or custard pie) is one of my very favorite deserts. Every time I eat it, which is not often enough, it fills me with a warm, nostalgic feeling. Plus, it is delicious, so that’s just as good of a reason to try it!

So, when Eggland’s Best asked me to recreate my favorite family recipe for the holiday’s, there was no deciding to be done, a melk tart it was! I am always looking for a way to make my recipes a tad bit healthier, and by using things like 1% milk and Eggland’s Best eggs, I get better taste, less saturated fat, and more vitamins. Plus, don’t you just love individually stamped eggs?

Note – The batter for this tart/pie/cake/dessert is very thin, never fear. You are going to cook it very slowly, and the consistency will be right, hopefully!

Tell me, what is your favorite family dessert recipe?
